The IPROSeegers tool is used to create Seeger on the shaft part. This dialog box is displayed every time you drop the Seeger tool in the scene or when you edit one.

The Seeger can be placed also on cylindrical parts, drop the tool on an circular edge or face and the seeger inherits the shaft dimensions.

‍

Components

The family of seeger can be selected using the two tabs.

You can change the type of seeger clicking of the option buttons placed under the tabs.

‍

Parameters

• Standard Name - Using this dialog box, the user can select the correct rule.
• Type - This combo box contains all the values related to the selected rule. When the user drags a component over on circle edge (for example, if the user drags a seeger over a shaft), a check control named Auto will be shown. Using this toggle control, it’s possible that the seeger inherits the shaft dimensions.
• Hollow Mode - This box lets you choose between the hollow mode: none, active, only hollow (in this case the seeger is not positioned). When the user activates the hollow, the check control of the Chamfer is activated to do so on the edge of the groove.
• Material - Using this combo box, the user could select the code of the material related to the component.

BOM Information

The lower section of the dialog contains the items useful to set the information related to the component.

The section is divided in two parts: BOM Information and Custom Information.

For a detailed explanation see BOM information

Status bar

The status bar reports the description of the selected standard rule. If you click on description Library Data Manager starts to modify the description and the rules to create the bill of materials. Close to it, on the right, there is a button that enable you to edit the geometric data file, launching the Library Data Manager - Geometry…

The data structure behind Seeger

Every component defined in the User Interface has behind him some data files which contain properties and parameters related to the component itself. These files are placed in the folder of the standard rule. The main files associated to the family of components are the followings: seeger.ini and ringN.DIN

Every numbered section is related to an icon of the component in the User Interface, and every record contains these fields:

• DataFile -> File containing the data values useful to build the component
• Rule -> Name of the Standard Rule
• Description -> Description of the Standard Rule
• MaterialFile -> Data file containing the materials allowed for this kind of component

For example, this is the structure of a Seeger.ini file

#DataFile Rule Description                 MaterialFile
[1]
471.DIN | DIN471 | Elastic ring for security shaft | seegers.dat

[2]
472.DIN | DIN472 | Elastic ring for security hole | seegers.dat

[3]
4VA.DIN | DIN4VA | Seeger V for shaft | seegers.dat

[4]
4VJ.DIN | DIN4VJ | Seeger V for hole | seegers.dat

[5]
983.DIN | DIN983 | Seeger K per shaft | seegers.dat

[6]
984.DIN | DIN984 | Seeger K for hole | seegers.dat
[End]

Under each section it is possible to place several records; every record refers to a particular rule.

The material data file contains all the materials available for the component. All the material files are stored in the folder Norme.

The ringN.DIN files, contain the fields of the standard values related to seeger normative; the structure of the files are self-explaining.
